The 100% figure is Transifex's calculation based on the PO files; 
Transifex cannot know how up-to-date (or not!) the content is.

Normally, these warnings indicate that there is a string in the XML file 
for which there is no equivalent string in the PO file. However, in this 
case, it's certainly a false positive; XML and PO file entries exist for 
all those warnings. So this appears to be a bug in Publican -- please 
report it in Bugzilla --

It's not a problem with <screen> -- Publican reported "Element primary 
is not declared in para list of possible children"

This was caused by this portion of an English <para> string: 
<package>vbetool</package>

which was translated into Spanish as "<primary>vbetool</primary>"

Like Publican said, <primary> is not allowed to be a direct child of 
<para>, so the build failed in Spanish.

With the tags corrected, the Spanish version builds fine. I've checked 
in the corrected PO file.

Thanks so much for your ongoing effort, even under difficult working 
conditions!
